I'm surprised too. Can you upgrade it to 2.8.17 (18) ? If you can connect with keyboard and monitor, do the command `system check-install` and see if there are any errors displayed. If not, make a supout.rif file and send it to us.

'Cause I have a 2.7.20 system with the same problem: no telnet, no console, just winbox. And no log

reboot + upgrade. problem gone
not upgradable, moe than a year old, and its a wired router, so not for why to upgrade. Reboot did not help. I can use it as a router, but still it would be better to log on localy too in any case.

for 2.7 i can't tell you if there were any issues, i don't remember anything like it. maybe unstabile hardware? did you try power cycle (power off, power on)? remove any unused packages from it, then reboot normally (sys reboot).

I will try remove unneeded packages, and do the reboot. I can do it only after midnight, because a huge traffic goes througt it now.
Thanks for help, I will report tomorow.

I had the same problem, after a few days, the only solution was CTRL+ALT+DEL
I upgraded my test router to 2.8.17 after I discovered this problem.

I meant `upgrade to 2.8.17 or .18 when it is released`. We have it on the demo router, and it is being tested on other routers as well. We will release it when it's ready

It works fine now, but yesterday, I got wrong username or password when I tried to login with user demo with no password.
Now I have forgotten why I wanted to login to it.

I got the same problem again, so there must be a limit of how many demo user that can login at the same time. I'ld like to know the maximum number of demo user that can concurrently login to the demo account, and how to set this in Mikrotik.

there is no such limit. check your internet connectivity - maybe it just times out.

I didn't had a timeout, I got the error message wrong user name or wrong password. I tried to login 4-5 times with the same error messages. It's a small risk that I tried to login to my own router, but I'm pretty sure that MikroTik 2.8.18 wasn't even available for download at that time when I got this error message. I also got this error in my own router with 2.8.16, but it's very seldom.

Now I'm 100% sure that I didn't do anything wrong when I tried to login. Can anyone here verify that you cannot login to the demo router.
Here is the error message.
Login: demo
Password:
Login failed, incorrect username or password
Edit: I tried again 5-10 minutes after i got the login error, and now it works. Very strange error. Anyway, I saw that there is a running script in the router, and I wonder if that has something to do with the problem?
:global nam; :global temp
:set temp 0;
:foreach e in [/user find] do={
:set nam [/user get $e name];
:if ($nam="demo") do={/user set $e password="";
:incr temp}};
:if ($temp=0) do={/user add name=demo group=demo}
Oh my god, I'm dumb!
The script is for if someone change the password of the demo user, it will change it back to normal ie. no password for the user.
